People Helping People

Founded in 2003, the United Heritage Charity Foundation was developed to support the many charitable projects in which United Heritage Credit Union participates. Since its inception, the Charity Foundation has distributed funds to numerous local charities including children’s organizations, cancer research, veterans and education initiatives.

UHCF Donation Request

In order to ensure our support has the most direct impact and meaningful impact on our communities, the Charity Foundation has shifted our donation process to focus on organizations and groups based on what is happening throughout the year to actively address current needs. This partnership approach allows us to work side-by-side with them and tell more of the story behind each organization's impact.

How We Provide Support

The United Heritage Charity Foundation places priority on contributing to deserving organizations that make a difference in our local communities. To maximize our efforts, we support organizations that focus on improving the lives of individuals within Central and East Texas.

To optimize our efforts, the Charity Foundation supports organizations whose focus includes one or more of a few specific areas outlined here:

* Education:

* Family & Children:
* Focus Season: July - September
* The Charity Foundation believes that children are the key to our future and that family is the biggest influence in a child's life. Supporting these relationships whenever possible is very important.
